You know the stereotypical scene where little girls dress up as brides, and marry their Ken doll,…read moreMr. Teddy Bear or the like and what not?! Yeah.... I definitely NEVER fell into that stereotype (Ken just isn't my type?). In fact, up until I met my now husband, I never considered getting married even an option for me (and neither did my family). I was even about to start a club called SPINSTERS FOR LYFE. So when my manfriend of 2 years proposed to me on Christmas 2015... I had a bit of a panic attack (I've got video to prove it- according to my husband, I was not happy about being proposed to! Ah ha ha). When it finally "sunk in" (let's be real, it still hasn't) that I was going to get married (thanks to my mom "motivational" words of "get your sh*t together, about two months after being proposed to), the panic attack returned because HOW IN THE F-ity F do I plan a wedding?! THANKFULLY I watch enough girly chick flicks to know that WEDDING PLANNERS do exist... And my brother's girlfriend (who may or may not have played dress up Bride when she was a kid, LOL) just so happened to be friends with one! Talk about coincidence! Sure I could have simply settled for my brother's girlfriend's friend but just like dating, you've got to play the field before you find your perfect match, AMIRIGHT?! So I decided to meet a few other planners before settling down. After many "first dates"... I decided to make my move and proposed to Dee (the owner and main wedding planner of No Worries Events). She accepted, and til November 12 do us part! I remember early on in the process of planning, getting a bit stressed about where to get married, numbers, settings, etc... And calling Dee completely frazzled- even telling her JUST GIVE ME A CALL TIME AND I WILL BE THERE! NO WORRIES!" She said... And she was right. Dee researched venues for my husband and I to check out (and came with us to said venues), florists, wedding photographers, DJs, etc... And made sure ALL COSTS stayed within our wedding budget. She made sure my husband and I were 100% happy with all the decisions and whenever we had questions/comments/concerns for and about the venue we selected, she always took care of it! Never once did I feel stressed, frazzled or nervous- ONLY INSANELY EXCITED! Sure, there were a few snags during the planning process, I mean- when are there not?! But Dee took care of ALL OF THEM (giving Jennifer Lopez/Mary a run for her money)... And when November 12 finally arrived... The day was above and beyond perfect. I won't lie to you, I had NO IDEA what the ballroom was going to look like... Thanks to the fact that there was little communication about floral decor other than my wanting SOLELY LEAVES (no flowers because of allergies)... But Dee pretty much READ MY MIND and made sure the room looked almost exactly to what I had envisioned. Okay, I need to stop myself from going on and on, because I certainly could... Dee is above and beyond. I wouldn't have had the wedding I had without her. Nope. And you know what?? Now I want to play BRIDE and marry my husband everyday because this experience definitely made me feel like a princess! Thank you Dee! (Ladies, if you have any questions, feel free to message me).

I wish I had an event every weekend, just so i had the chance to work with Dee/No Worries Events…read moreevery time. I had the pleasure of working with Dee on 2 events. First one was for my sisters wedding 3 years ago, 250 person wedding and then my wedding last year- Guest count 400 people! Both events could not have gone any smoother than they did. She was absolutely amazing to work with. So organized and so on top of everything. Always reminding me everything was going to work out and run smoothly. Highly recommend for any of your events!

Hiring Lauren as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made during the whole planning…read moreprocess! She was extremely communicative, helpful, honest, and proactive - and helped make our vision a reality. We planned our whole wedding, but also work several jobs and live out of state. So at times, it was challenging to stick to our timeline and keep track of all the moving pieces. Here are the qualities we experienced with Lauren, and I'm confident you'd get the same: PROACTIVE: We shared our planning document with Lauren early on, and she was so great about jumping in and providing recommendations, asking questions we hadn't thought of, and reminding us to do things before it was too late. We had a list of "items we need" and Lauren went so far as to lend us some things she had, search Craigslist/Offer Up/ Etsy to make suggestions, and even went out of her way to pick up some decor for us from a vendor in CA since we were out of state. HELPFUL: Lauren helped us navigate how to get our marriage license and sent us a very detailed email with all the specifics. These little things REALLY add up when you're running 100 miles per hour with your job, planning, family stuff, etc. COMMUNICATIVE: Lauren took the initiative to reach out to all of our other vendors to check in with them, answer questions, provide information and make sure they had what they needed. Towards the end, she also took over communication with our venue on our behalf, which was a weight off my shoulders because they kept forgetting things I had told them! It was nice to have her as the middle-woman. By the time we actually got to the wedding, Lauren was so familiar with our vision and plan that everything was flawless!! ACTION-ORIENTED: I had intended to be much more involved on the day with helping get set up - but I didn't get a single thing done on my to-do list because everyone was talking to us / asking how to help / etc etc - it was so overwhelming but I knew that I could comfortably go upstairs to get ready with the girls and Lauren would have it handled. By the time we walked out for the ceremony, everything was STUNNING. Lauren helped set up the table decor, all the signage, the florals, etc. I had so many family and guests say what a hard worker her and her husband (who showed up to give an extra set of hands) are. I have to admit, I really had to convince my husband (and other family members involved in the wedding) that we even needed a coordinator and to make space for it in the budget. Given that we were planning it all and had so much help, it was difficult to convince some people. We were hesitant at first since every other vendor was a friend or acquaintance and we weren't sure we needed a coordinator. And for all the people who were skeptical about hiring a coordinator, they all understood what a necessary role they plays when they saw Lauren and her husband in action. For anyone in a similar situation: DON'T SKIP OUT ON IT. Having someone that is not directly involved with your guests is essential in getting stuff done. From the planning to having someone give a non-biased perspective, to all the help setting up, breaking down, and making sure guests knew where to go and what to do - the day wouldn't have been the same without Fancy Fern Events. She will allow you to sit back and enjoy your special day with all our closest friends and family, without worrying about a thing! I feel like I've known Lauren for a long time and have developed a friendship I am sure will last far beyond this day. The cherry on the cake was her thoughtfulness after all the festivities - a personal note and gift, and helping us to sell all the items from our wedding. Thank you, Lauren and Fancy Fern Events for going above and beyond to make our wedding magical!

Excellent, excellent, excellent…read more Our wedding was a destination wedding (we are from NYC) AND we survived the wave of pandemic unpredictability. I met Claudia pre-pandemic and felt very confident after our first conversation that she would be the perfect fit for our wedding team. She was so kind and adaptable when we had to postpone our wedding TWICE and made sure that I felt supported throughout the entire process. She was a coordinator, director, visionary, and friend. We ended up having a 2-day wedding event and Claudia and her husband Mike were so reliable that I had NO stress because I knew she had my back.

Not wanting to hurt her or ruin her day I THANKFULLY found TEARS OF JOY on Instagram. It literally took ONE phone call to Adrienne and the rest is pretty much history. I'd offered to help as well but with work and my busy career it was almost impossible. But ADRIENNE was there EVERY single step of the way. She kept me up to date as to what was going on and what my friend had requested. Something about her calmed and reassured me. I only had one concern, that was to take care of my friend on her special day. Well the GIRLS of Tears of Joy surpassed that expectation tenfold and 100%. She coordinated every single detail to the tee and exactly like my friend wanted. On the big day these girls were there EVERY step of the way making sure my friends wishes went as planned. Her and her team even had the arduous task of sending away unwanted guests at the Brides request of course. But they did so with such professionalism and tact that it was to be admired. My friends day went off exactly as planned with Adrienne herself even making a last ditch to the reception location to fetch the brides bouquet that was accidentally left at the hotel. How she goy back to the wedding in time I will never know. Thats just what you get with these women. A group of "make it happeners". Her and her staff just go wayyy above the call of duty and what is expected. Which is exactly what I'm use to and what I expect. I'm so glad I took a chance and called on Tears of Joy. I can't thank Adrienne and Melanie enough for all their hard work and couldn't have done it without them. I was actually so impressed with their services that I hired them to plan my upcoming 45th Birthday Bash. I don't know what we are doing but as long as TEARS OF JOY is there it will be FABULOUSLY BEAUTUFIL!!! If you're looking for help to plan ANY event these girls are as good as it gets and as professional as it gets. You honestly won't regret using them. Again THANK YOU, THANK YOU TEARS OF JOY for all of your help!!!

My fiance and I had an initial meeting with her, we both liked her a lot and signed a contract pretty early on. Cassie is very responsive, friendly and sweet! She was amazing at reaching out to all our other vendors and confirming everything, creating a timeline, and handling our venue's strict policies. She really helped everything run so smoothly during the rehearsal (our wedding party is very easily distracted and definitely needed a lot of wrangling, lol) and the wedding day. She came at the very beginning for setup and stayed until the very end and kept me updated via text. One of my favorite things she did was that she checked on me several times throughout the wedding to make sure I was ok or if I needed anything - really appreciated that! Definitely would recommend Cassie!!

They made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible, from getting ready, all the way to making your entrance for the reception.

I've said Yes to my Wedding Coordinator! After meeting with a couple of coordinators, I have…read moredecided to go with Karen from J&J Wedding Events. I was actually part of a wedding that Karen coordinated and I was impressed how smoothly everything went, especially given our rowdy (and maybe slightly inebriated) group of bridesmaids and groomsmen. The wedding itself was classy and elegant, yet had a relaxed-enough vibe where guests could have fun celebrating the couple. Karen also assured me that she has coordinated other events, including milestone birthdays and anniversaries, which showcases her ability to work and be flexible with different types of crowds, cultures, etc. I think the best part about Karen is that she only does wedding coordinating as a hobby. She is a Registered Nurse/Nurse Practitioner by profession, but she loves weddings and celebrating events so much that she decided to start this side business for fun. That, to me, illustrates how passionate she is about this busines and in making other people's special days memorable. I'll post another review after my event, but for now I have been nothing short of impressed by Karen from J & J.

I would recommend Mary to any bride and groom wanting to plan their wedding or anyone wishing to plan an event. Mary is reachable, easy to work with, professional, and extremely helpful. Thanks again for everything Mary!!!
